Passion Force 6: Epiphany | Divine Inspiration

One of the definitions of epiphany is ‘A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization.’ That’s a moment in your life when you are suddenly struck by a powerful thought that changes your life forever.

Epiphany Divine InspirationA lifelong passion can be triggered by an epiphany. Saul the persecutor of the followers of Jesus Christ undergoes an epiphany on the road to Damascus and his life is changed forever. He went on to becoming one of Christ’s greatest apostles.

Such a life changing incident occurs in the lives of many great men. It may be something provocative that someone says to you. It may be the sight of another human being suffering. It can be a sudden realization that you hate your present job and you decide what you really want to do in life. Sometimes an epiphany can be a harsh tragic event like the demise of a family member or some colossal disaster somewhere in the world. Your eyes open wide and all the shades fall off. You can see clearly around you and far ahead.

You do not have to sit and await an epiphany to change your life. Read good works of literature, listen to inspiring music and songs, travel around, meet people and you will be struck by a light on your own road to Damascus.

The Epiphany is also a Christian feast which celebrates God being revealed to Man in the form of Jesus Christ. So this can be taken as a metaphor for the spiritual being in us manifested in the physical form. Which is what passion is all about. Our spiritual energy driving our material body to achieve ideals and goals that are godlike!

Inventors and discoverers experience epiphanies all the time. Archimedes was struck by his discovery of buoyancy and ran out yelling – Eureka! Eureka!

May you too experience an epiphanic moment and share old Archie’s happiness!

The Light is One | Inspirational Quotes

The Candles Are Many the Light is One Inspirational QuotesI have spent many years in my life collecting inspirational quotes and sayings.  I have a collection that surpasses many, I believe.  But now, with the internet, inspirational quotes are just a few keystrokes away at any given moment.

I remember reading Rumi quotes long before they were able to be found everywhere.  I studied Eastern religion and I have always been an avid fan of J.D. Salinger (he quotes a lot of Eastern poets and philosophers in his books).  There is really just something about Rumi that touches our hearts.  The quote that is the subject of this post is no different.  It goes straight to the heart and the truth of things. It is the embodiment of divine inspiration, if you will.

“The candles are many but the light is one.”  This expresses exactly what I see as being the human experience, the human truth.  As humans, we are each a candle unto ourselves, but the light that emanates from us is from the same source, and in fact, is the same light.

Whatever name you have for the creative energy that is responsible for our existence on this planet, I believe that is the source of this light.  Some force of energy created us, and that same force holds us together.  When we look inside of our hearts, or our soul, or our spirit, or whatever we see as what gives us breath, we can see a light.  I ask you to look at this light right now.  Is it big? Is it small?  Is it steady or does it flicker? Whatever it looks like, expand it out… watch it grow.  See how big you can make it.

This is, in my experience, the very light of the Creator, the Universe… God, if you like.  This is the light that animates us.  This is the light that gives us breath.  It is where we came from and it is where we will return to.

And yes.  We are individuals.  We are here in this human form so that we can experience this individuality.  But that does not mean that we are not all one light.  We are many candles… but the light is one.

I love this quote.  It really is inspirational.   It reminds me of who I really am.   I hope it reminds you of who you really are, too… and inspires you to shine your light a little bigger and a little brighter every day.

God Loves Beyond Measure | Divine Inspiration

The following is from one of my favorite newsletters. I get it in my inbox every day. I don’t actually read it every day. I get a ton of emails and I don’t always give myself time to read everything that comes through. However, I do always trust that if I’m meant to see something, if I’m meant to get a certain message, I always get guided to do so.  Today, I was very much guided to open up and read my Heavenletters™ Newsletter (you can find them at Heavenletters.org). This inspirational message really went straight to my heart.  It was a message I really needed to hear. I’m so grateful that I know how to follow my guidance. When I do, I am always rewarded.

I just wanted to share this with you today.  Maybe you will feel the divine inspiration from it the way I do. If it catches your eye, then the message must be for you, too!

God said: 

Accept how much I love you, love you as you are. Accept how much I love you and how much My love is dependent upon nothing but My love for you and not upon qualifying standards that you may think you have to strive for. It behooves you not to wait for My love dependent upon your earning it. My love is sacrosanct. My love is not changeable. My love for you is dependent upon My love for you which is a constant. It is not dependent upon your sense of peace or worth or anything. My love is not something that you have to qualify for. Judgment is not My way nor is judgment your way. My love is not a kind of fraternity in which you have to be selected. My love is not exclusive. My love is inclusive.

I award My love to all. My love is a given. It is the one thing you can count on. My love for you is a given, and it is a given never withdrawn from you. I do not give with one hand and take back with another. My love is a sure thing. My love is given freely. And you are to do the same.

You are not to assess My love as though it were a levy according to your perception of events in your life. You do not total up all the figures to make sure I did it right. No, My love is given spontaneously. I do not size you up. I do not weigh you on a scale. I do not deal in pounds and ounces or other kinds of worldly measures.

I do not measure. I love.

I do not look askance. How are you to go beyond worldly measurements unless I do the same? If I had a scale, which I don’t, by what right would I weigh a child of Mine with My thumb on the scale? Would I have a cut-off? Would I be so arbitrary? No. I have no elite squad. My children are not required to be what you call enlightened.

Life itself is an initiation. You learn your way in life. I am not a God Who tells you to do what I say and not what I do. Not at all. My love is not hit or miss or just sometimes depending. There is a big difference between earmarking love and simply giving it. I give. I bet on everyone.

I am not a dealer nor an assessor. I do not give to only those with a proven record. Your record does not precede you. Love precedes you, beloveds. What does My love have to do with performance? As if you first have to measure up, and then I love you. I love you first. I love you first, and I love you irrevocably. I do not tease you with love. What kind of a God do you think I am?

I am a constant God. It is not hit or miss with Me. I am definitely for you, and for you regardless of the relative world. If you want to say I love you anyway, you can say that, but I do not see it as loving you regardless. I simply love you. There is nothing I have to set aside or hold in abeyance.

You can say, if you like, that you have to earn My love, yet that is not how it is. Let Us say that I give you all My love before anything else, and, then, as it happens, love swirls in your heart. But nowhere do I have the idea of your meriting My love or not meriting it. I don’t think that way. I do not think in those terms. My love is well-founded. It is My love, and I give it across the board. I give love. I give it. I give it. I give it.

Accept Your Humanness | Inspirational Quotes and Sayings

I pick inspirational quotes and sayings to share by the way they resonate with me. I have collected quotes and sayings throughout my whole life because reading them and/or thinking about them has helped me to understand something, or heal a part of my trauma or pain.

This inspirational quote crossed my path not that long ago. It was very interesting because I had just been made aware of a spirit guide who identified himself to me as Emmanuel… and then, not too long after that, I was looking around on the internet when I saw this quote, and it is attributed to EMMANUEL! I knew this one was meant for me! (I do believe our angels and guides communicate with us in many ways… including through inspirational quotes and sayings, songs, poetry and randomly through the internet, as well as the people around us!)

Inspirational Quotes and Sayings | Accept Yourself

So, I truly find this saying to be something I need to embrace. For a long time in my early life I didn’t really like to be on this planet… I didn’t understand why I was here, and being in this human body can truly be painful sometimes – and I really didn’t like that. Eventually, I came to truly understand myself as a spiritual being having a human experience… and that is where I first began to love myself. I could love my spirit, my soul… I could love what I saw when the angels showed me how I look to them.

But… even with that understanding, I have sometimes struggled to love my human form… this body that my spirit is occupying. So, I was able to love my divinity, but not my humanness! And just as I came to this realization, this inspirational quote crossed my path! So… I couldn’t resist but make this graphic for it, so that I could have something lovely to remind myself that I WANT to love my humanness… and hopefully to help me get there… without reserve!

I chose this picture because of the reflection… I sometimes see our body and our soul like this… one aspect reflecting the other.
